How can having a mathematically adept mind actually help us all serve others where God has put us?
Who more can crave than thou hast done? That gav’st a Son, to free a slave, first made of nought; with all since bought.
Where whenas death shall all the world subdue, our love shall live, and later life renew.
The Christian view of the Christian student is that he is simul iustus et peccator, simultaneously saint and sinner. Educating this Christian according to his nature, we instruct him in God’s Word, teach him virtue and vice, and give him the knowledge and skills necessary to be of service to the world wherever he is needed.
What is the goal of education? Not the acquisition of Mammon. The goal of education is Fides ad Deum, Charitas ad Vicinum, faith toward God, love toward the neighbor. Or as John Chrysostom very nicely sums it up: Χριστιανὸν αὐτὸν ποίησον: Make him a Christian.
